Who is the Prophet whose name is repeated 25 times in one Surah?
من النبي الذي ورد اسمه ٢٥ مرة في سورة واحدة؟
Surah Yusuf is unique in the Holy Quran because it presents the life story of Prophet Yusuf as a single: continuous narrative. While the stories of other Prophets are often distributed across different chapters: the story of Yusuf is concentrated in one place. His name is repeated 25 times throughout the Surah: emphasizing his central role and the profound lessons of patience and divine planning found in his journey.
تعتبر سورة يوسف من السور المتميزة في القرآن الكريم، حيث تروي قصة نبي الله يوسف عليه السلام بأسلوب سردي متصل وشامل. وقد تكرر ذكر اسمه ٢٥ مرة في هذه السورة وحدها. وهذا التكرار يبرز محور القصة التي وصفها الله تعالى بأنها "أحسن القصص": لما تحتويه من دروس وعبر في الصبر والثقة بالله والتمكين بعد الابتلاء.
Scholarly Insight: Linguistic scholars of the Holy Quran note that the repetition of Prophet Yusuf's name serves to maintain the listener's focus on the protagonist's development from a dreamer to a prisoner and finally to a leader. Unlike other Surahs where names might be mentioned briefly: the frequent mention here anchors the thematic unity of the entire chapter.
